What is a CO dilution system?
The dilution system extends the measurement range of the CO sensor and protect it from high eoncentrations (x40). The system has user-selectable factors (2, 5, 10, 20, 40); an automic feature and an overall analyzer function.The analyzer automatically calculates and displays the corrected concentration based upon the dilution factor. Basically, the dilution system introduces a precise volume of ambient air into a mixing chamber that contains the flue gases thereby reducing the concentration by a specific quantifiable factor. This system has many advantages over older technologies in that: it protects and extends the life of the sensor by reducing the concentration and it eliminates the cost for additional replacement sensors. The CO dilution system is standard in the Engine Kit #3 and Turbine Kit #4.
